If I had the choice I wouldn't put up a photo but nobody would mail or respond to any woman of 40 or over without a photo for fear she might look like Peig Sayers on acid. On the other hand most of my emails have come from guys who don't have photos. It reminds me of that weird film Paris Texas starrign Harry Dean Stanton and Natassja Kinski. In the film Harry Dean Stanton plays a guy who goes into a place where men hire women in booths for a sort of private peep show. There's a one-way viewing glass between client (Harry) and customer (Natassja). It must be a really weird feeling knowing somebody on the other side of the glass can see you, but you can't see them. This is how I feel when guys without photos email me!

Not everyone feels comfortable advertising their wares on site!! Each to their own: dont see the harm in waiting til you've made contact with someone before revealing your identity...tis a small world out there...and you never know who's looking - could be a boss...ex-boyfriend....someone you owe money to....the mafia....jehovas witnesses..... I agree though, if they're chosing to remain anonymous cuz they've got a missus up their sleeve and dont want to get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, thats not on!!! Bring back hanging, I say!

Most women on this site have photos up, but quite a few men haven't. It's really annoying. What have they to hide? Have they a criminal record or worse, are they married? Play fair and put up photos lads, most of ye wouldn't bother mailing us women if WE didn't ourselves displayed here like tarts competing for punters in Amsterdam's red light district.

I have taken advice on board("dressed up"; "head and shoulders"; "looking straight at the camera and smiling") and updated my profile photo - thanks for the tips!

Ok then, people should be pictured holding an upto date newspaper - hostage style - to prove it's a recent photo :D

Er....okay, what about people who post pics of *themselves*.....ie themselves ten years ago! when they still had hair! Or before the tried the McDonalds diet....

"here's a thought... maybe the 'imposters' want to remain anonymous, but want to give people an idea of what they might look like, rather than have no pic at all?"

Why not just describe themselves then instead of using someone else's image? And if someone sees a pic of that ex-Miss Ireland for example and doesn't know who she is then it certainly doesn't "harm" the person's profile does it? ; )

here's a thought... maybe the 'imposters' want to remain anonymous, but want to give people an idea of what they might look like, rather than have no pic at all? In that case, what are people trying to say when they post Homer as their pic..??

This particular Jamie Lee Curtis ALSO has a pic of herself on her profile, along with one of Trinity..! Makes for interesting mails, and is always an ice-breaker..

Mr Tea I agree the fake ones are worse than the blurred ones. Especially Homer Simpson he's very popular.

I think the blurred photos are better than the fake ones. I've seen Jamie Lee Curtis and Yvonne Ellard (ex-Miss Ireland) used as profile pics!
